CPAN has everything. Nearly everything and one of the modules is DBD::Sybase which connects to Microsoft SQL servers as well as Sybase ASE and iAnywhere servers, but there’s a trick. (weiterlesen …)
Why should I write about sessioning at all? A session is something which exists and should be as easy usable as possible. Is this the end of my blog post about sessioning? (weiterlesen …)
MS-DOS basic variants had fixed default values for variables, “empty” for string variables and “0″ for numbers. DATABUS (now DB/C) variables used to have unpredictable content unless initialized with an empty value and Pascal – as far as I remember – also had default values.

My computer told me that 4.294.967.296 people live in France – and computers don’t fail, you know? (weiterlesen …)
Some weeks ago, I wrote a post about aggregated logging by merging many “UPDATE … SET count=count+1″ SQL statements into one. But there’s a problem: All of the data stored in memory is lost if the task or server crashes or if the database dies and doesn’t come back until the task exists. Here is how I solved this problem.
